Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Arizmendi, Genesis D.; Asencio Pimentel, Monica F.; Li, Jui-Teng; Swanson, H. Lee – Bilingual Research Journal, 2023
The phonological loop of the working memory system plays a key role in language learning. This study examined the trajectories between two dual-language learner groups (English Learners [ELs] and Spanish Learners [SLs]) on phonological loop measures in L1 and L2. At Grade 1, children completed a battery of vocabulary and cognitive measures and…

Three phonological awareness (PA) tasks, i.e., phoneme…

Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Chamorro, Gloria; Janke, Vikki – International Journal of Bilingual Education and Bilingualism, 2022
Most research reporting that bilingual children exhibit enhanced cognitive skills and social awareness relative to their monolingual peers focusses on children raised and educated bilingually, making it difficult to pinpoint the degree of second language exposure necessary for such advantages to materialise. The current study measures the social…
